Baja Avocado Pasta

This was delicious! Who would have thought that avocado pasta sauce would taste good? We definitely enjoyed it. Also it used the delicious chicken recipe from this post. So that was awesome.

I didn't use corn because I think corn in Mexican dishes is gross. 

I tried to take pictures, but it was all sorts of blurry. I failed. So if you want to see pictures go look at the site.

• 
  Creamy Blender Avocado Sauce
• 1 cup light sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 2/3 cup milk
• 2 avocados, peeled and pitted
• 1-2 jalapenos, seeded, deveined and roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup packed cilantro

• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 
  Garnishes (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare Chili Lime Chicken according to directions. When done, remove chicken to cutting board and cover to keep warm. Don't slice until ready to serve.
2. Meanwhile, add all of the Creamy Blender Avocado Sauce ingredients to your blender and chop then puree/liquefy until smooth.
3. In the same skillet you cooked your chicken in, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat (you can use remaining oil from chicken if there's enough). Add red bell peppers, corn and garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes, or until red peppers are crisp-tender. Add diced tomatoes/green chilies and heat through.
4. Add cooked pasta followed by Creamy Avocado Sauce and stir to combine. Heat through. Taste and add additional salt, pepper, hot sauce to taste.
5. Garnish individual servings with chicken and optional toppings of cheese, pepitas and fresh lime juice.

NOTES

Refrigerate leftover pasta for up to 5 days. The lime juice will keep the sauce from discoloring.
